#virtualbox #guest

VirtualBox on a new machine from clone.

After cloning a VM template, we need to change things to make us stay out of trouble.

SSH to the machine and do these things.

export NEW_HOSTNAME='newhost0'

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

5
sudo ln -s /etc/machine-id /var/lib/dbus/

echo "127.0.0.1 $NEW_HOSTNAME" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
